The whistle let out a long "beep", and the white steam erupted sharply, startling the countless seabirds chasing the ship's wake, and they scattered in fright.

The steam-ironclad ships laden with the wounded and the remnants of the defeated soldiers, the decks were littered with dejected neon soldiers, and the expressions on their faces were numb, and only when their eyes rolled did they look like they were alive.

In the cabin, which was filled with medicine and the smell of blood, the wounded with severed hands and feet barely survived after a simple and crude bandage, but most of them were already "dead".

People are still alive, they belong to the fighting spirit and heart of the warriors, but they died unexpectedly on the battlefield of Cao County, without this kind of spirit, they are not worthy of being called imperial warriors at all, at best they are just walking corpses.

A member of the branch of the Onmyoji Famous Sect Tu Yumen Family, a young Onmyoji with the pseudonym Asuka Ryo , because of his extraordinary talent, once had five samurai puppets with sufficient armor, but he didn't show it at all on the battlefield of Cao County, and was firmly entangled by the demons of Middle-earth using thick rhizomes, and in the blink of an eye, he was squeezed into a pile of pig iron fragments by the python-like twisting force.

"The empire is over! The military strength accumulated after the Restoration was lost on the battlefield of Cao County, the treasury was empty, and we borrowed a large amount of money from foreign financial consortia, and we were overwhelmed by the high interest alone. If the battle of Cao County is won, everything is easy to say, but if the battle is lost, this will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back!"

Asuka Ryo hugged his calves with both hands, and thinking of the consequences of defeat, he couldn't help but bury his head deep in his knees and sobbed quietly.

His sadness and despair attracted the attention of others, and an old man with a bare head walked over and gently put his arm on the shoulders of the young Onmyoji, feeling Asuka Ryo's body tense, and then understood the current situation, relaxed slightly, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

Then, the old man slowly sat down and sat on the ground next to the young onmyoji, leaning against the bulkhead.

"Don't be sad, we haven't lost our last pants yet, with the arrogance of the Middle-earth Empire, as long as we send an envoy to bow and apologize diligently, we will be forgiven, at most a symbolic small sum of money. ”

Asuka Ryo raised his head in surprise when he heard the old man pass on the experience of the old man in the manner of a passer-by, revealing a young face full of tears.

"Really? You can't lie to me, do you? I feel that the Middle-earth Empire's troops are very different from the rumors. The five divisions of the empire have a total of 100,000 people, and the entire army will be wiped out in a decisive battle, and the soldiers of the Middle-earth Empire are more ruthless than ghosts and gods, and they are not as weak and deceitful as they are rumored. The Eagle Gilly Imperial Expeditionary Force also did not bargain, did our Imperial Military Department seriously misjudge the military strength of the Middle-earth Empire?

When the young onmyoji said this, he was full of anger and couldn't suppress it, so he couldn't help but blurt out, he didn't care that the cabin was full of army red deer, and daring to say this was simply looking for death.

However, the imperial soldiers in the warehouse were all gone, even if a few officers were not convinced, recalling that the ten-meter-long ship slashing knife of the martial arts mecha swept across a large area, and more than a dozen comrades-in-arms stopped and cut into two pieces, they couldn't help but want to vomit, of course they wouldn't stand up and scold.

The old man does not belong to the Onmyoji system, as can be seen from his bare head, he is a monk from a monastery and from the "Five Mountains".

The channels he has mastered and the information he has obtained are not much more than those of the young famous family, Asuka Ryo Ryo, a member of the Tuyumen family.

Not only the divine battle of Gao Tianyuan, but even the turmoil of the Yellow Spring of the Underworld Birasaka, the old monk is also like a palm print, but it belongs to a different system and cannot empathize.

"The heritage of the Middle-earth Empire is unfathomable, I can feel that the barbarian officials are still rotten and incompetent, and it is only the third-party forces in the country that have sent troops to Cao County, not only the frontal battlefield, but even the god world has also started a war. It's a pity that our side is still a fiasco, among the three noble gods, only the God of Destruction is unscathed, and the strength of the Guojin God is almost intact?"

Only then did the young onmyoji react that behind the old man around him was not the traditional neon gods, but also a group of foreign "gods".

He nodded heavily: "I also feel it, there has been a big change in the high heavens, and now it is closed and silent! The same is true of the Underworld Yellow Spring Birasaka! However, the god of the underworld is still there, not much has changed, and the incompetent dereliction of duty has stepped down and replaced it with a more powerful god." ”

The old man's inspiration for Asuka Ryo is a little incredible, without any direct channels, he can know so much secret information, maybe it is a material that can be made.

He had the intention to subdue this young onmyoji, and deliberately pointed out in a casual tone: "Maybe you don't know that the god who replaced the god of Hades Moon is the founder of the Kurokawa Shogunate, and he will not have any good face for the empire after the Restoration, even if the descendants of the shogunate are included in the Chinese clan and receive special hospitality!"

Asuka Ryo was surprised at this time, but when he thought of the gods behind the old man, Shinto once converged, once overwhelmed the neon traditional gods, and believers were all over the "world", and after the wise restoration, relying on the support of the empire, Shinto became the official state religion, and it was only then that he steadily overwhelmed it.

Now, Takamagahara almost fell, Huangquan Birasaka has changed his ways, or the god who founded the shogunate, will definitely not have a good face for the empire and the royal family, will he rely on the god of destruction and the god of Kunitsu in the future?

The young Onmyoji is well aware that in these chaotic times, the country cannot truly rise without the protection of powerful gods. Now, the hegemony of the "Great Neon Empire" has just risen and is blocked in the middle way, which is really too far from heaven and too close to the dragon-like Middle-earth Empire.

"No, even if there is no god of Tianjin, in the history of our country, in the ruins of the gods, there must be a sleeping god, I want to find it out, let it become a new god, the national god of the protection empire. ”

The old man didn't expect the young Onmyoji to have this kind of intention, his original intention was not like this, according to convention, guiding Asuka Ryo to become a believer in the gods of Shakti is the right path.

However, seeing the determination and fiery eyes of this young onmyoji from a famous family, the old man knew that he had completely failed and had to change his mind.

"Do whatever you want, it's best to be quick and wait for no one. ”

Speaking of this, the old man also thought of himself, the Neon Country's exposition may not be left alone, after all, the opponent suppressed the Tianjin Divine Sect, and the next target must be the Interpretation Gods.

"I believe in the Great Mighty Virtue King, maybe I will also start a backup retreat! Okay, after I go back, I will gather my disciples and perform the Great Mighty Virtue Horror Technique, summoning a part of the divine body to the ground and integrating it into my body. ”

At the same time, the young Onmyoji has already thought of a goal and direction. The Tuyumen family inherits the direct bloodline of the great onmyoji Abe Harumi, and the name of the son of the white fox is not called in vain, but the actual bloodline points to the "Inari God" who controls the abundance and land, and the fox is just its messenger.

The other way is the "Killing Stone", which is closely related to the neon royal family, maybe the big monster in front of the pseudonym Tamamo still retains the blood of the gods, and the nine-tailed fox is also a crosser, which is closely related to the war between gods and men in the mythological era in ancient Middle-earth, and must have a great secret.

The young onmyoji set two trials, but the underworld demon world opened up by Ye Zhiqiu, the mastermind behind the scenes, and the demon era pulled from the upper reaches of history, are not only cow ghosts and snake gods, but even some big guys are hidden in the depths.

For example, the Thunder God Emperor Shitian, who chose the path of falling to the sky and devoured his good friends, the Peacock Daming King who was entangled with the fate of the Heavenly Snake King, and the Ghost Eye King of the Three-Eyed Jialuo clan who inhabited the Kunlun Secret Realm, etc., are all bosses who destroy the world in minutes!

Whoever returns to earth and is resurrected in its entirety is Ragnarok, the Dark Ages, the end of the world, and the chaos of the world to an even more insane state.

At the same time, the combined forces of the Eagle Gilly Empire and the French Wolf West Empire crossed the Indian Ocean and entered the Malujia Strait, and the countries of Southeast Asia did not dare to let go of their farts and let this huge fleet sail towards the Middle-earth Empire.

Compared to the past, the sweet potato states in the tributary system were profitable, with nothing more than kneeling and humble words, while the imperialist conquerors, led by Eagle Gilli, wanted to enslave and even control all wealth and power.

This makes the countries that have to surrender by force very resistant, there was no choice before, there was no way, now the rise of the Middle-earth Empire, a slap in the face of the challenger neon back, many former sweet potato countries, the current colonial people began to talk about the good of the Celestial Empire.

In fact, the influence of the Red Manifesto has penetrated widely, not only the members of the Cao Gang with a strong spirit of resistance, but also the general public has begun to realize that if the barbarians do not fall, China will not be good.

The incompetence of foreign wars, the cession of land by reparations, and the humiliating treaties of the country appeared one after another, and the barbarian empire did not want to forge ahead, but instead increased its internal oppression, and more and more bankrupt peasants, and the soil for revolution was already available.

The battle on the Caoxian Peninsula and the news of the victory soon spread back to China, and the reinforcements of the Barbarian Empire were still not in the vicinity of the capital, and the situation was naturally very embarrassing.

What's even more tangled is that the red army, which returned from a great victory, pointed at the imperial capital, threatened to overthrow the tyranny by force and seize the world in one fell swoop.

The capital was shaken, and it was shocked three times a day! The official newspaper even bluntly said that the royal family's northern hunting was the right way.

On the battlefield of the Caoxian Peninsula, the red army, which had been trained by modern warfare, became more and more imposing, and after crossing the Yalu River, it went straight to the barbarians' hometown, completely cutting off the barbarian royal family's survival in the north.

Subsequently, the Red Army began to try "land reform", vigorously fighting local tyrants, dividing land, exempting all taxes, and quickly gaining the support of the common people outside the Guan.

I have to say that the Northeast is worthy of being a prosperous place for the barbarians, and the massive wealth accumulated is still secondary, and the mines developed are called more than one, not to mention the fact that the past generations have worn green women and then operated outside the customs, the basic industrial system is quite perfect, and the modern chemical industry based on three acids and two alkalis is blooming everywhere, and it is an industry that can be quickly converted into military production.

The Red Army, which had an industrial base, quickly got rid of the category of peasant rebels, and with the support of countless peasant workers outside the border, its military power soared, and the steam ironclad ships produced by Vladivostok in the ice-free port were like dumplings one after another.

The land of the barbarian prosperity was occupied, and the barbarian magnates who survived the disaster could not escape into the pass, and the bad news reached the ears of the rulers of the capital one after another.

At the same time, the Eagle Gilly Empire and the French Wolf Western Empire joined forces, and for the high-level barbarians who had suffered from it, this was a time of internal and external troubles.

In a stormy and eventful year, the barbarian chieftain Tian Khan unfortunately fell into the water, contracted the wind and cold, and returned to the sky.

The election of a new king to the throne of Dabao, the harem has made a lot of efforts, and the right to speak has skyrocketed. These girls in green clothes are also afraid of the red army, for the glory and wealth of their own family, in order to be able to fall in love with the big pig's trotters, continue to fight in the palace, and decide to cooperate with the Eagle Jili Empire and the French Wolf West Empire, and join forces to strangle the red regime in the northeast.

The two veteran imperialists did not expect this to happen, but they were equally hostile to the Red regime.

Under the premise that the barbarian empire paid for it, the two empires of the European continent decided to send troops to "suppress bandits" and march by land and water.

As a result, after the Eagle Wolf United Navy entered the Neon Sea, it was immediately hit by a sea storm at the level of a natural disaster.

Among them, the one who contributed was naturally Suzhan Mingzun, who held the power of the sea, summoned a violent "divine wind" and ravaged the old Imperial Navy, showing his strength to his allies and showing his strength to all levels of the Neon Country.

In this way, the Eagle and Wolf Alliance was pitted, even if the military priest summoned the divine power of the Supreme God, it would be impossible to fight against the natural disaster, at most part of the power would be eliminated, so as not to cause too many casualties.

This is also the area of the Neon Sea, in the western Pacific Ocean, the Guojin God King has no temper at all, after all, the huge ocean is not its island country's indigenous gods have the final say.

After many hardships, the Eagle and Wolf coalition forces braved the storm and prepared to wait for the opportunity to land ashore.

It's a pity that as soon as the army entered the customs, it was sniped by the mecha cluster of the red army.

It was an endless torrent of steel rolling in, crushing everything with invincible momentum, and if it weren't for the thunderous roar of the heavy artillery units of the Eagle and Wolf Combined Army, the battle would have been one-sided and miserable.

In fact, the frustrated martial arts mecha quickly adjusted, using its high mobility to outflank it over a wide range of long distances.

In addition to the ten-meter-long ship slashing knife, the steam repeater "Rainstorm Pear Blossom Improved" that is standard with the martial arts mecha shows the confidence of the rapid increase in steel production in the territory of the red regime.

It was the first time that the Eagle Wolf Combined Army had encountered such a formidable enemy, and the officer level couldn't help but begin to wonder if the era of cold weapons had really passed.

After all, the robot giants who carry their shields and shoot away cannonballs are terrifying, ignoring the bullet-packed steel bodies, which seriously dampen the morale and courage of the soldiers, and make them lose hope of victory.

When the artillery of the Red Army let out a deafening roar and the Hawk Wolf Combined Army overturned on their backs, the sensible officers knew that the intervention in the revolution within the Far Eastern Empire had overturned.

Without the cooperation of the army, the Eagle and Wolf Combined Navy could not rely on naval artillery to achieve the final victory, coupled with the fact that the logistical supply of the Barbarian Empire was always delayed, and the hearts of the imperialists were scattered.

With no one to preside over "justice" and "international justice", the nascent red regime not only gained a firm foothold, but also probed its tentacles into the Guannai for the first time, and spread sharply under the cover of the Cao Gang.

With the great victory of foreign wars, the Red regime gained revolutionary orthodoxy and jurisprudence, and under the call for the abolition of unequal treaties, the strongest voice of the era of expulsion of the Tartars and the restoration of China spread everywhere.
